    Help NVR5208-8P-4KS2 with IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras

    As stated above, DMSS, SmartPSS and gDMSS all function properly and capable of partial zoom., But I use IE running under Windows 10 to monitor the cameras. The problem is with Dahua's firmware.

    Help NVR5208-8P-4KS2 with IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras

    Andy, Can you help me on this issue. I purchased 9 of the IPC-HDW223`E-2S cameras, plus two NVRs from you in the past. Did Dahua stop supporting the zoom feature for the IPC-HDW2231R-ZS cameras? The reason I am asking is I while back I upgraded the firmware to V4.002.0000000.7.R, Build Date...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    BTW, DMSS also allows partial zoom. Sot it look like the Dahua firmware killed the partial zoom feature for the IPC-HDW221R-Z cameras.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I have tried Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Pale Moon on several computers. All exhibit the same, no partial zoom. It is possible to do a partial zoom by going to the NVR's> settings>camera> camera list > click particular camera "webpage"/ log into camera/ Settings/Camera/zoom & focus/. I wish...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    I have 9 of these and it looks like Dahua firmware upgrade to V4.001.xxxxxxxx.x.R or later partially kills the zoom function. Instead of being able to partially zoom in and out, now you can only zoom fully out or in.

    EmpireTech latest New firmware, Device Guide video, Manual WEB5.0

    Fully aware of potential problems. But I wished there was a notice that some Dahua cameras features such as PTZ were no longer supported. Now I have 7 cameras that won't partially zoom, unless I connect directly to the camera (requires virtual host to be turn on).

    When I upgraded the firmware on my NVR5208-8P=4KS2 to DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.002.0000000.6R and above, I lost the capability to partially zoom in and out on the 6 IPC=HDW2231R=ZS (firmware 2.800.0000004.0R.2019-01-22) cameras that I purchased from you. Previous firmware versions allowed...

    Will this even work?

    I installed my NVR at a location that was practically impossible to run ethernet cable to. So for a couple years I used a spare router setup as a Wireless Bridge (with DD-WRT firmware installed) connected to my NVR system with 8 cameras. I had good WiFi signal at both the NVR and my...

    My Dahua NVR5432 was hacked last week!

    Your first line of defense is to run any of the good antivirus software which will detect and eliminate any key loggers, Trojans, and viruses.

    NVR continually contacts many Dahua Websites

    Still, Dahua should disclose this in their documentation and state the purpose, and what data is being sent back and forth. P2P is off, and all ports are closed. Firewalla set to block all outgoing and incoming connections except for mine. I remember setting up a honeypott years ago that was...

    My Dahua NVR5432 was hacked last week!

    I was going to purchase a N100 mini computer and install OPSense (Linux install), but instead I purchase the little Firewalla Purple SE (I don't need wifi) but does have BlueTooth. I really like the Firewalla Purple SE, it is easy to configure and I love being able to access it from my...

    NVR continually contacts many Dahua Websites

    WTH! I installed a firewall in front of my NVR5208-8P-4KS2E, (firmware V4.002.0000000.7.R.240717) and noticed it continually tries to contact many Dahua servers, including their international servers in China and Europe. Nowhere do I find any information, documents or warning that the NVR will...

    My Dahua NVR5432 was hacked last week!

    Multiple Dahua locations trying to gain access to NVR

    Thank you for the explanation. I disabled all port forwarding on my main ISP router. I did a open port scan from my public IP address side and everything looks closed now. I still like to know why Dahua from multiple locations are accessing the NVR.
